Also if you have birds that you would like to sell to a good home this would give you a better opportunity of finding a...

    New to BYC - Swollen Eye

    I took these with my phone so it's hard to get a good picture. This little girl is Clara. She is 9 months old and has had this swollen eye for about four months. I took her to a vet, no advice there. It is starting to hold her mouth open which makes it hard for her to eat and drink. My...
